Trump’s Support In The Heartland Collapses As Midwestern Voters Swing Toward Democrats

The American heartland – what pundits have repeatedly called Trump country – has turned on the president in a big way, according to a new poll.

In three states – Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota – Trump’s approval ratings are in the cellar.

In Wisconsin and Michigan, two states Trump narrowly carried in 2016, just 36 percent of voters think he’s doing a good job. Similarly, in Minnesota, just 38 percent approve of his job performance.

Without voters in the so-called Rust Belt, Trump’s political fortunes will sink faster than the Titanic.

The whole party is going down with Trump

Worse for the Republicans is that it’s not just Trump who’s seeing his numbers crumble in the all-important Midwest.

The party itself is sinking, too, likely because they have clung so tightly to Trump over the past year and a half, even as his presidency has been consumed by corruption, criminal investigations and incompetence.

What’s more, with November’s midterm elections less than four months away, Democrats enjoy a lead in congressional preference from 8 points to 12 points in these three states.
